The quarterly earnings of $8.75 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.36 (but dropped 23.8% from the prior-year quarter). Total revenue of $1,063.4 million also came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,038 million.

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post Company (WPO) recently posted second-quarter 2011 results. The quarterly earnings of $5.92 per share marked a substantial decrease from $11.04 delivered in the prior-year quarter due to sluggishness witnessed in the students’ enrollment and weak advertising demand. However, the quarterly earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Earnings Estimate of $5.87 per share. On a reported basis, including one-time items, quarterly earnings came in at $5.74 per share, reflecting a sharp decline from $10 posted in the year-ago quarter. Revenue for the quarter dropped 10.4% to $1,073 million from the prior-year quarter, reflecting sluggish performance in the Education and Newspaper Publishing division. However, the quarterly revenue came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1,064 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Kaplan Learning Technologies, a business division of Kaplan, recently announced that it has entered into a partnership with TrainingToolSite.com (TTS).  Kaplan is a pioneer in education services and a part of The Washington Post Company (WPO). TrainingToolSite.com, brain child of Ken Joseph and Lou Roberts, is engaged in providing training and facilitating business transformation.

This forces the companies to depend heavily on subject matter experts (SMEs) and non-professional trainers to devise and develop training content.  However, this may lead to an inadequately designed training including substantial costs. To mitigate the above problem, TrainingToolSite.com provides a comprehensive solution aimed to facilitate the SMEs and non-training professionals in ]]></description>

Now, many are finally putting it to work. But they’re not hiring more workers, building more factories, or paying down debt. Instead, they’re using the money to buy back their own shares. So far this year, companies have announced that they’ll purchase more than $273 billion of their own shares. That’s more than five times as much as last year, according to Birinyi Associates.

The diversified media company&#8217;s portfolio includes newspapers, Internet businesses and investments in paper mills and other ventures. The New York Times Company and other publishing companies such as The Washington Post Company (WPO), Gannett Co. Inc. (GCI), The McClatchy Company (MNI) and The E. W. Scripps Company (SSP) have long been grappling with the slump in print advertising demand, with advertisers migrating to the Internet driven by increasing online readership and lower ad prices. Furthermore, the recent economic downturn has adversely affected the level of national, retail and classified advertising revenues, as advertisers have cut their budget in response to weak economic conditions.

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post Company (WPO) recently reported fourth-quarter 2009 results. Quarterly earnings jumped to $8.71 per share from $2.01 reported in the prior-year quarter. However, excluding one-time items, quarterly earnings fell 16% to $8.82 per share from $10.54 posted in the year-ago quarter. While times are tough, the company’s diversified business mix is faring better than many of its publishing house competitors. Revenue for the quarter rose by 6% year-on-year to $1,238.4 million, driven by revenue growth at the Education and Cable Television divisions, offset by revenue declines at the Newspaper, Magazine and Television Broadcasting divisions. The Education division delivered strong performance &#8212; revenue was up 16% to $709.3 million, which we think will continue in fiscal 2010. At fiscal year-end 2009, enrollment totaled 104,900, up 32%. The increase in ]]></description>

Newsweek had acquired the Budget Travel magazine from Group XXVII Communications in 1999.
